[action 1]
[Inspired by Japan, Crowe, and remembering the words of others who had spoken to him recently, Lucas, too, has decided that it is time he reclaim some of his lost battle skills. Once strong enough to stand to all but the deadliest of chimeras, the boy hasn't fought now in over a year . . .

Still, he can manage a sandbag propped up on a broomstick. The problem had been to get the stick not to snap immediately with a single hit, but he had managed by tying several together. Being shier in nature, Lucas is holed up in his backyard and practicing hard. It is possible, though, to hear his occasional shouts or grunts or even the thump of his bat smashing against the bag. Those who investigate will find that the boy has little technique whatsoever . . . He simply hits as quickly and powerfully as he can. But he moves with an awkward fluidity, and it appears he normally fights with chained attacks - 'comboing' hits with kicks, punches, and blows as he ducks and weaves and almost occasionally seems to glide through the air.]


[action 2]
[The accident happens about an hour in. Caught up in the fervor of combat, Lucas smashes the sandbag hard enough that it flies straight up into the air. And instinctively, with some sort of retained muscle memory, he thrusts out a hand and cries out.]

PK Flash!

[And immediately regrets it. The pulsing ball of green light gathers for a few moments before barreling outward to smash into the sandbag, catching it up and propelling it high into the air. Reaching about thirty feet in altitude, the PSI energy eventually flares outward in a massive burst of green light clearly visible from a distance. The sandbag explodes.

Lucas drops his bat and runs to his front yard. If you're anywhere nearby, he'll be running up to you with an expression of severe panic.]


. . . Are you alright?! Are you feeling OK?! You . . . Please say you didn't see the light!
((Lucas's PK Flash has odd effects. It's a burst of psychokinetic energy infused light that alters the brainwaves of those who see it. To be brief, PK Flash causes spontaneous crying to the point where your character is blinded by their own tears, paralysis, which is self-explanatory, feeling strange, which can be interpreted as violent hallucinations and delirium, or instant death. Or nothing, of course. Please don't choose the death option, aha.))

[Perhaps it works. Perhaps it doesn't. Either way, Lucas eventually draws his hands away and peers with concern into Theo's face. If the tears stop, his first sight will be of a short, blonde boy looking pretty miserable.]

[The tears finally stop, and Theo blinks a few times to clear his eyes. He wipes at his face with his palms, still frowning as always.]

Finally. Christ...

Are you alright now? Does anything else feel strange?

[Other than his bruised dignity? Nothing much.]

I guess. Not that I can tell. Goddammit, that was-- what the hell did you do?!

A few months ago, I got an ability back that I don't usually use. I forgot I'd remembered it, and it just . . . popped out. The light you saw earlier -- That was PSI. Sort of . . . psychic power expressed through light.

Psychic abilities. Hnn. You oughta be more careful. You're just lucky I didn't see you before you hit me, or you might have ended up with a gravity spell in retaliation.

[Part of him felt like doing it now for being humiliated like that, but this kid seemed like he might actually be sorry. Ugh.]

[That was generally the point of PK Flash. Lucas nods solemnly, though.]

PK Ground? Are you a psychic, too, mister?

Psychic? No. I do magic. Only demons use psychic abilities in my world.

D-Demons?! . . . Demons like Mr. Lyn demons or demons like the ones they talk about in church sometimes?

Demons like the kind who leech off society, thinking they can--

...Lyn? That blonde kid? He's a demon?

Oh, um. . . . Something like that. I'm not sure exactly how it was.

Hnn. I had no idea. Interesting. Though chances are slim he's from my world...

That's neither here nor there. If you're going to be practicing dangerous abilities, inside might be a better place to do it.

U-Um. Yes. I didn't mean to be practicing that at all. But it was all my fault, I know.

[This is as nice as Theo gets. With that, he storms off.]
